These two checklists work wonders with my kids. Before we had these, I had to keep track of who had done what, remember what else still needed doing, and then remind both kids each step of the way of what they needed to do next. We did this in the mornings getting ready for school, and repeated it again after school.

Now I only need to remember one thing, and ask one question: Are you done with your list? And the best part is, the kids really love these lists. They feel in control – they don’t want to be nagged any more than I want to be nagging them.
